This space opens into the dining area, where cool chairs and cozy benches offer plenty of seating, surrounded by quirky, retro decor that adds a playful vibe to the space.

Just off the dining room is the kitchen, a nostalgic nod to the past with all the modern conveniences.

Down the hall, you`ll find the guest bathroom and two welcoming guest bedrooms, each featuring 2 full beds and their own TVs—perfect for winding down in private after a busy day.

Take a couple of steps down and you`ll arrive at the home’s true centerpiece: the main living room. This is where the retro music theme shines. A 60s-inspired couch (which doubles as a queen-size sleeper) invites you to kick back while a record player spins vinyl nearby. With a karaoke machine (complete with 2 mics), a disco ball, and a bold red chair, this room is designed for fun and lively gatherings—whether you’re reliving old hits or creating new memories.

Tucked just off this space is the master bedroom, offering a queen bed, TV, and an ensuite bathroom for extra privacy and comfort.

Outside, the backyard is a perfect extension of the home. With seating and dining furniture, yard games, and a BBQ grill, it’s ideal for outdoor dinners or lazy afternoons. Whether you’re firing up the grill or playing games in the yard, it’s a space built for relaxation and enjoyment.

Guests have full access to the entire property, except the garage.

Located in the heart of Austin’s beloved Zilker neighborhood, this home is perfectly positioned for exploring the best the city has to offer. Just minutes from Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and the vibrant South Lamar District, you’re surrounded by iconic Austin landmarks and local favorites.
